GAMING GONE WILD

Due to the fact that I get bored easily, I tend to play alot of games. The games I play are mostly Sports and Action. Games such as, the most recent basketball game (NBA 09), the most recent baseball game (MLB the show 08), and for action games such as, Star Wars the force unleashed, WWE smackdown vs raw. I play alot these types of games because they are very realistic in graphics and strategy. For instance in any basketball game recently out, they have players, teams, managers and so forth that are in our reality, also the gameplay is very realistic.
Most games are a waste of money because of the fact that you buy it only because it is new and then after a couple of months you leave it on a shelf like an antique, and most games prices range from $10-$80 depending on the year it came out. Besides adventure/action games the game usually is just repetitive, even adventure games sometimes you could finish in a couple of weeks. Gaming today, in my opinion if we want to play games often we should have more arcades, therefore we could spend time with friends and family playing with them. But on the other hand, we have to balance are time and set are priorities in order. Gaming should not be considered a priority, but most of us set gaming a priority in our lives though we may not notice.
Thus, gaming both positive and negative in our lives, because gaming could respite our lives when we are in stress or just want to have fun at home instead of going out. It is negative because sometimes we go overboard and get addicted and we don't even notice that we play too much and in the future we would not get anywhere if we play to much games.

It's true. Sometimes people don't even realize when they spend way too much time playing video games. It's something that anyone can easily get consumed into, but like you said, it can be both a negative and positive thing. It just depends on whether the person has their priorities set straight or not.
